See any coupons to fix or add to the list? Let me know by using the blue button at the bottom of the list.
Why aren't there any prices on the B2G3 items?
you can check your local HT online. store prices vary.
I looked up the prices for my HT and they say price effective through May 1st so they should be the price for the sales this week. I thought I'd have to wait for tomorrow morning to make sure the prices were for this week.
Coke is $4.69 each which makes it $1.87 each if you buy 5,
HT Shredded Cheese is $2.89 each with makes it $1.15 each if you buy 5,
Ragu is 45oz. is $3.49 each making it $1.39 each if you buy 5,
Mayfield Ice Cream $5.99 each making $2.39 if you buy 5
Jose Ole Taquitos $6.39 each making it $2.54 if you buy 5
Thank you!
what is the ragu price?
$3.49 each for 1st 2
any luck with a zipcode for the post honey bunches of oats?
I just successfully printed it with 29492
thank you kindly. I was successful, thanks to you!
I can't get the page to load, it always does this to me, just says loading coupons…..any thoughts? thanks
try going directly to coupons (dot) com I always have to do it that way.
thanks! So smart not sure why i didn't put that together!! haha thank you!
Scott's paper towels great deal $4.99..if you have $2 evic and $2 Catalina!!!
My Evic is for 6 or 8 count naturals and only 8 count regular…do we know which one is on sale?
The HT ad says the 6 roll. That will make for a good deal!
right..and my ht only sales scott naturals, so .99 for paper towels is great
YESSSS I am soooo excited about this one. Especially since I NEEED paper towels! YES!
my evic q is gone… did it expire? I know I added b/c I was considering buying them when they weren't on sale and the catalina printed.
Thank you for this amazing match up!!! So excited to get 6 count paper towels for $0.99!!!
Sorry to ask but what is the catalina deal for this? I can't find it anywhere…
The Keri lotion would be $1.99. The $3.99 is the BOGO price, they are orginally $7.99.
That's what I was just wondering after looking up the price online. It said ($3.99 Buy One Get One! Single Price Displayed. VIC Card Members)Sale price valid through Tuesday, May 01, 2012
Yup…knew it was too good to be true! LOL
Yep, me too, but how weird is this. I went to H-T this AM and the shelves were bare-no Keri in any variety
Same at my HT, shelves bare. I got a raincheck in case there's future good deal.
The Kiss nails prodjct coupon, doesn't it specify that it excludes glue?
The B1G1 Dasani coupon from Recyclebank is not for a 24 pack. It's for a single drink and one other size
There is a catalina printing that states post pebbles cereals and treats between 4/16 and 5/13: buy 2 get $1 off, buy 3 get $2 off, buy 4 get $3 off.
So if you buy four, use two $1/2 coupons then each box is $0.75. $3 off is on a future order/all items purchased in one shopping order.
Thanks so much Amy!
Is it off a future order of anything or a future order of cereal?
Anyone have any luck with the Scotts Towels coupons doubling from smartsource a few mths ago?? They say do not double, however they start with a 5.
I used mine at Bi-Lo and Harris Teeter and they doubled.
I used mine last doubles(not last ad) and I was willing to just pay the rest and take it as a 99 cent off, but the cashier just scanned it like normal and it doubled fine. (: and long as you're polite, they don't really look for things to have problems with.
Anyone have any luck locating the Lay's coupon?
the lays kettle chips are not part of the b1g1 fyi
I couldn't find the printable Ball Park coupon. Anyone have a zip code for that one?
try 21093
Anyone know if the HT price for Olay Regenerist of $18.99 with a $3 coupon that will expire on 4/30 is a good price or could I do better waiting for a sale at CVS or Walgreens? I know Rite-Aid has it for $19.99 this week with 2 Up rewards but I don't go to Rite-Aid especially when it would only be a $1 difference with HT.
Thats the price I would pay for if I didn't have and I use to pay 16 at harristeeter but I have found it cheaper at cvs not walgreens. At cvs when it goes on sale I pay around 10 to 13 dollars, the cheepest I have ever got it was at the beggining of summer for around 3 dollars. You can wait for a sale but looking at cvs ad its not coming anytime soon thats cheaper then the price at harristeeter. It just really depends, hope that helps.
Thanks. Maybe I should wait since I don't need it now I have one I'm using and another one I haven't opened yet. Sounds like if I wait I can get it cheaper when CVS puts it on sale even without the current coupon. I just started using it so I'm not tuned in yet to the best price. There will always be another coupon :)
Check your ZVR's to see if you have the olay coupon on there too, because if you do then you get $6 off and it's definitely a better price than rite aid.
Thanks, I missed it my ZVR's.
Keri Lotion is $7.99 (B1G1F) – no free lotion.
The Foster Farms is $9.99 regular price and on sale for $4.99, not $2.49.
Does anyone know what store or where I can find the $1/2 tearpad coupon for the Nabisco Newton cookies? Thanks!
HT on folly rd, charleston, SC
If there is a BOGO will Harris teeter accept a coupon for both items.
yes they will because you are actually buying each one for 50% off!
Thank you
Can I stack the PGesaver coupons with HT evic and paper coupon?
I experimented with that last week. I loaded a P&G coupon as well as a ZVR coupon and only 1 coupon came off. I tried it on a couple different things, so I'm pretty sure the answer is no. You can stack one e-coupon with a paper coupon, though. You just can't do all three.
Thanks!! Too good to be true I guess!! :)
You cannot stack PGesaver with another coupon or with a paper coupon. Please post here if you get the PG esaver coupons to work. I've had not luck with them crediting at checkout and PG customer support is useless. I purchased 2 items, used no other coupons for them and the PG esaver did not credit. HT will not help at all with the PG esaver coupons. Good Luck, I'm curious if it work for anyone at HT.
Thanks I tried using the PGesaver and it never worked. Will just give up on the PGesavers as they seem consistent with the eVics.
My P&G q's have worked. They show up as a ZVR….fyi.
I used P&Gesaver and eVic together with paper coupons and they all came off the receipt. It was when they had the eVic special on Gain detergent for 3.77. There was a $1/1 paper coupon, $1/1 eVic coupon and a $1/1 P&Gesaver. All of them came off my bill and I paid only $0.77.
The HT evic and PG esaver are the same coupons just loaded in 2 different places. I contacted P&G and HT about this when they first came out.
does HT have a limit on like item coupons. i know their policy says 3, but how strict are they on that policy. anyone use more than 3 coupons per item?
They don't double after 3 like coupons but if doubling is not a concern, you can use as many as you want. I believe that is automatic and not up to the cashier to catch. If you are using a coupon that is $1 or more and it is not super doubles, then you can use as many as you want since they don't double anyway. Also, you can use more than 20 a day. They just only double 20. I had a cashier count my coupons one time and try to tell me I couldn't use more than 20, but that is not their policy. You can use as many as you want at face value. We straightened that out with the manager. Hope this helps.
Well I thought I could stay home this week after SD's last week but I actually was out of shredded cheese and at $1.15 with the B2G3 I couldn't pass it up. I also needed a new pair of gloves for cleaning and they have the HT latex lined gloves B1G1 so I got a pair for $1.34. I also couldn't pass up $1.74 Smithfield bacon, when I checked my coupons I had 12 $1 off coupons that were going to expire early next month. It pays to collect the coupons from the in store dispensers even if they do say DND you never know when I deal will present itself, I'd take 2 every time I was in the store, so I had 6 from the dispenser and 6 from the paper. I got 12 packages. I didn't clear the shelves they had a lot left. I love it when it's a good deal and you can use a coupon and not worry about same item limits and just checkout. Since they weren't being doubled I could use as many as I wanted. Now I'm ready for local tomatoes to be ready, bring on the BLT's.
I just recently heard that you can use CVS EBC at Harris Teeter? Now I think it is based on the store and if they have a pharmacy, but have any of you guys tried this? Just curious before I try it myself.
Yes I did it during SuperDoubles. Used a $2 and a $4 EBC that were going to expire on 4/24.
Oops typo ECB not EBC, and my HT does have a pharmacy and CVS is in the parking lot of my HT.
I was told today that my Harris Teeter would not accept my $3 ECB.
can i use a coupon for every item in the buy 2 get 3 free deal?
In my store (Fayetteville NC) they only accept coupons for the things you buy…So only two coupons for the buy 2 get 3
HT corporate office emailed me stating that on the buy 2 get 3 free – you can use 3 "like" coupons as per their coupon policy – it does not matter that we are "purchasing" only 2 and 3 are free – it goes by the quantity of items
Hmmm…I'm 99.9% sure their policy is only 3 like paper or 2 IP coupons will double (or triple) but there is no limit to the amount of like coupons you can use. So I would take that to mean that you can use up to 5 coupons, but only 2 or 3 would double based on their policy.
Has anyone done the Perdue Shortcuts Meal Deal? If I get the shredded cheese at B2G3 does that count toward the meal deal or do I actually have to get 6 bags of shredded cheese?
Perdue Short Cuts Chicken, 9 oz, $5.99Get the following FREE:Mission Flour Tortillas, 17.5 ozBreakstone Sour Cream, 16 ozHT Shredded Cheese, 6-8 oz
I am pretty sure the one you get for the meal deal should count towards your 5. Ask! It never hurts… :0)
They loaded a new $10 off $50 coupon for HT on recyclebank. New expiration is July 3rd. Just thought I'd spread the word. Yeah, I was down to only 1 left with the June expiration.
How do i find the 10 off 50 coupon?
Log into recyclebank.com, click on the get rewards tab, scroll to the middle where is says browse all rewards, in the grey area you change the zip code to 28253 and the harris teeter coupon pops up first! Good luck! It takes about 10 days usually to receive it. :0)
Okay I found it under another zip code. Do you have to shop near that Zip code or will it at any HT?
If you view the reward it has a map of locations. I think all HT's take it but if you want to be sure call your local store.
Go to recyclebank(dot)com. Get Rewards tab, Click on Browse all rewards, if the Harris Teeter reward is not shown in FILTERS enter one of the Charlotte NC zip codes 28277, 29708 (if the Filters are not displayed click on SHOW FILTERS). You can also search specially for Harris Teeter in the Looking for something specific? box under Browse Rewards.
There is a $3 off 2 Taquitos under zip 90210…
I'm really liking the Meal Deal this week, Perdue Short Cut Chicken and everything you need to make burritos, plus the iceberg lettuce .74……a good meal for less than 7.00, much better that Bi-Lo's. Kudos to HT!!!
How do I find the $10 off coupon on recyle bank? Thanks!
Go to recyclebank.com, log in, click get rewards, about the middle of the page click on browse all rewards, in the gray area change the zip code to 28253 the first reward that pops up should be HT! For future reference I have the best luck finding the coupons under Charlotte NC zip codes. It takes about ten days to receive it in the mail. :0)
Go to recyclebank(dot)com. Get Rewards tab, Click on Browse all rewards, if the Harris Teeter reward is not shown in FILTERS enter one of the Charlotte NC zip codes 28277, 29708 (if the Filters are not displayed click on SHOW FILTERS). You can also search specially for Harris Teeter in the Looking for something specific? box under Browse Rewards. You need 100 points to get the reward.
go to redeem rewards in the search bar type in harris teeter and it came up for me
We went to HT are were expecting $13 at checkout but it rang up at $8. Didn't want to question it, but when I looked at the receipt after we left, one of the coupons said "VIC $5 off Purchase" and took off an additional $5 off of the total. Totally not complaining, lol, but does anyone know where this would have come from or how can get it again? I didn't have an coupons (paper or ecoupons) that said anything like that. Oh, and the recipt said 0 ecoupons used.
I just love Harris Teeter!
Have you had any prescriptions filled at HT recently? I could be wrong but I seem to remember a special that they had going where you got an eVIC credit when you got a presciption filled. Nice surprise either way:)
Nope, haven't had any prescriptions filled. But good to know for the future, I'll look into that. Thanks!
That promotion ended on April 3.
It has been extended, but it's still limited to the same 10 maximum. They aren't advertising it tough.
Are you in SC? HT is giving everyone a $5 credit to make up for the 1% tax they have been charging and werent suppose to be
You are correct. I got the $5 off today, Friday. It's one time only. Apparently the law changed in January, no more 1% prepared food tax but HT was still charging it so this is how they are giving back to their customers. It's SC only since I live on the NC/SC border I went to HT Wednesday in NC and didn't get the $5 off but today in my SC store I got it. Nice surprise. Be careful, at the Fort Mill store the ZVR's weren't working again, no online savings/YTD ZVR savings on my receipt. I had to go to customer service to get my ZVR credits for my purchases to today.
That must be it. I am in SC. Thanks!
Is this $5 credit in SC for just certain customers? I have shopped at HT on Folly Rd., Charleston, on 4/24 and 4/28 & $5 has not come off.
Have you written them about any problems or issues? I had to write them because my free Pepsi next e coupon disappeared off of my account after only one day and i didn't use it. For the trouble though, they attached a $5 credit to my Vic card.
does the shredded cheese freeze well
Yes it does
I know your question has been answered, but I had to chime in. It freezes very well! I have a ton in my freezer. To thaw, you can lay it on the counter for about 30 minutes, or thaw in the fridge.
Thank you for the explanation on how to get the Harris Teeter coupon. I live in Charleston- has aonyone tried to use it there?
I have used it before and have two more to use at the Folly Rd store
I want to try to do the Jose ole buy 2 get 3 free deal, I have heard that they only allow you to use coupons on the ones that aren't free, but for those that have does it beep and a manager has to come overide, or does the computer accept all of them. I think it depends on cashier but just wanted to know.
It may depend on your store. I bought five and uses 4 coupons. $3/2 and 3 $1/1. I think there is a $2/1 out there somewhere. That would be an awsome deal. HTH
I used 2 $3/2 printed and 1 $1/1 clipable and only the $1/1 beeped. The mgr came over to override the coupon and pointed to the register screen and told the cashier that "it" has a zero therefore she can override it herself. Not sure what she was pointing at but was able to use 3 coupons which covered 5 products with no problem. Our New Bern store rocks!!!!!
At the HT I go to, you can only use coupons on the 2 you purchase…but the Jose Ole @ $2.00/box is a good deal anyway…so I bought them!
Yes i did this deal with 2 $3/2 and $1/1 and 2 beeped but the cashier put it in herself.
Good HT trip today. 5 $1.15 HT shredded cheeses, 6 $1.74 Smithfield Bacons (B1G1 – 6/$1 cpns), 5 $1.87 six packs of Coke, $2.99 Scott 8 roll bath tissue (evic price $4.99 – $.99 dbled), $12.99 Olay regenerist cream ($18.99 – $3 – $3 ZVR), used $1.99 ECB, plus a surprise Vic $5 off my purchase (SC only, one time only, give back to SC customers because HT was charging a %1 prepared food tax since January that had been discontinued).
Got my evic email this morning and saw that for tomorrow only all varieties of Kelloggs Cereal (except for mini wheats 15-24 oz) will be on sale for $1.50! I wasn't planning to make a trip to H.T. this week b/c my pantry is packed thanks to recent triple and super double coupons but I have a 70 cents off kelloggs cereal coupon which will double to $1.40 so I can't pass it up! Now I just have to decide which kind to get! Love those evic specials! This site has really turned me onto using coupons and wanted to give a big shout out to southern savers! :-p
i love southern savers too.
just thought i'd point out the evic special on the kelloggs cereal is "Save $1.50" not $1.50 each
LOL doh u r right! Still though not a bad deal, with the couponit's like saving $2.90!
Thank you for pointing that out! I read it wrong too! Kinda misleading if you ask me.
i was gonna skip the evic deal b/c none of the cereals r on sale, even with q's still wasnt the best deal. Did you go yet and what all u get?
Naw I decided to have a lazy day so I didn't go, although this was partially b/c I read that Lowes Foods has Kellogg's cereals B1G1 this week, so, according to Southern Saver's they are $1.89 each, and my 70 cents coupon will double there too so it will be like 49 cents after coupon.
I have a question. Can you use more than 3 coupons on the same item if they are not doubling?
Is there a limit to the number of coupons you can use in a day?
Not unless the coupon states a limit (ie: P&G coupons limit 4 per transaction).
if the coupons aren't doubling then no but if they are then only 20 per vic card
HT also has a policy not to accept more than 3 of the same coupons. They watch that more and more at mine. And especially when they do super doubles and triples.
Incorrect – the policy actually states that they will not DOUBLE more than 3 of the same coupon, it says all additional coupons for like items will be accepted at face value.
FYI, there is a .70 coupon on Scott website for paper towels! :)
Coupon says do not double, wonder if harris teeter will double anyway??
It varies by store I think. I've never had a cashier not double my "do not double" coupons. The only time I run into a problem is if the machine for whatever reason rejects it when they try to scan it and they have to call a manager for an override. If a manager sees it's a DND they won't do it.
I am a little late on this…but could someone please explain the scott papertowel/toilet paper deal everyone is commenting about?
6pk Scott Naturals paper towels is on sale for $4.99. There is a $2 e-vic coupon you can load on your card. Plus there is a $.70 printable at Scott's website which will double. So a 6pk of paper towels is only $.49.
My store was out of the paper towels today and the e-vic coupon expires tomorrow! Doubt I'll get the chance to capitalize on this deal!
How is it .49?? 4.99 – 2.00 ZVR = 2.99 – .70 – .70 = 1.59 per 6 pk
The .70 coupon doubles
Exactly…which is why $4.99 – $2 – $.70 – $.70 is $1.59, not $.49…Kathy was right.
urghh, i jus realize it does expire tom, i have a $2 catalina, so im really hoping they get some in by then.
Question: When using a Q that is for example: Buy any Glade® Expressions™ Oil Diffuser starter kit, get a refill FREE (up to $5.99)….can a Q, be applied to the Oil Diffuser starter Kit……Or for instance there is also a Buy Glade Mist starter kit, get a Refill for free…Can we apply the MQ on the Glade Mist starter kit?
Looking for a deal on something specific?

It couldn't happen any other way"
To me, that almost seems like a cryptic tribute to the Rev. After his death, the band kept saying that he had to die tragically young like that, because since he was a kid at heart, he wasn't meant to grow old and die any other way.
Just a thought.

Long time no post. Dang I have been busy. Lots of things going on at work, more TV interviews, meetings, classes, and getting ready for shows.
Do you get overwhelmed? I sure do. I need to put my nose to the grindstone and not look up for a couple of days. Problem is I have a wedding that I am doing flowers for this weekend. I have one bridal bouquet, 6 bridesmaids, 3 mothers small bouquets, 5 groomsmen corsages, 62 table arrangements, etc. I do have some help but I will be doing the main flowers myself. It is for dear friends and I can't wait to do this for them.
I have tons of stuff to put in my Etsy shop soon. Here is another Pod Pendant necklace. I am really liking these.

Thriving The Holidays Series : How to help your bank account ( & yourself ) survive christmas spending
A few weeks after the holidays had come and gone, I finally sat down and looked at the aftermath that emotional spending and people pleasing had taken on our bank account.
Holy fin' shit.
We spent how much ??! ?!!
I counted everything.
The atm fees for the times I was too lazy to go to the bank and take out money.
Last minute gifts and no game plan.
For everyone we knew. ( That is crazy !!! )
Buying a ridiculous volume of gifts, overspending because of expectation and trying to impress.
I am vowing that this holiday season will be different.
This year, I've got my budget and a game plan.
Do you ?
Here is how to help your bank account ( and yourself ) survive Christmas spending.
1. Create a budget.
I'm serious. This is the biggest and most important part of the puzzle. If you are living your day to day without one and always feel like you are behind this is why.
Here is a spreadsheet I created in Google Sheets. You can download it here. ( Go to "FILE" and "MAKE A COPY". Any changes you make will be seen by all if you don't ).
Create a income column and a debt column.
Next, make sure all of your monthly bills are covered and upcoming expenses (ie. annual payments).
Don't forget to add in due dates and when you plan to pay each bill.
Once you have a good idea on the amount of money left over, you can begin to think about spending money on xmas.
Don't have any left over ? Check out diy and give your time.
2. Write down who you have to buy for and how much you are spending.
I think this was the hardest part for me. The thought of not buying someone a Christmas gift.
***Make sure that you are clear with these people so that they also know not to buy you anything.
I use Google docs and create the list with the amounts. Then I make sure I share it with my husband so we are on the same page.
Make sure you stick to your "guns". Don't let pressure from anyone cause you to stray from your budget / plan. You'll end up feeling guilty / stressed / anxious / and straight up angry and resentful .
3. Get creative with what you are gifting.
With the way the economy is lately, I focus on buying local and from small businesses first.
Check out your surrounding neighborhoods for your gifting needs. You may find the perfect couch blanket or mittens made by a local artist.
Talk with your entrepreneur friends and support them by gifting their services. I'm giving 5 coaching sessions to a few women in need who normally couldn't afford to invest in themselves.
There are tonnes of free or diy gifts you can make for little or no money. Check out 100 Handmade Gifts Under $5 , 15 Christmas Gifts That Aren't Cheesy ,or Arm Knitting 30 Minutes Infinity Scarf (I'm trying this one now )
4. Save money on wrapping paper.
This stuff can add up and think of the landfills. My tip is to use whatever you have around.
Also, check out pinterest for tutorials on how to make your own. These are my favorites : Inspirational Wrapping Paper , & 10 Beautiful Ways To Wrap With Brown Paper .
5. Keep track of your spending along the way.
Write that shit down. I make sure I update my google doc as I buy.
6. Celebrate yourself for taking control of your finances this year.
I'm all about celebrating the little things. And this is a big one.
When you are in control of your $$, then you are in control of your life. You are empowered.
I know many women ( I used to be one ) that defined my worth by the pennies left in my bank account.
What tricks do you have to save money this holiday season ? Share in the comments, I'm dying to know. I love saving money !

Two states, two stallion season auctions
Two auctions selling about 300 stallion seasons, mostly for Florida stallions, will be conducted in the Southeast in the next couple of weeks. One will be conducted by the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders' and Owners' Association and the other by the Georgia Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association.
The Georgia auction will be held at the Atlanta National Golf Club next Saturday. The Florida sale will be held in the sales auditorium of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co. Jan. 13 following the first session of the OBS winter mixed sale.
There are about 200 stallions nominated to the Georgia sale, many of them standing in Florida, said Bill Russell, executive director of the GTOBA.
Russell said those who want to bid on a stallion with an advertised fee of $3,000 or more must contact him, and he will give them a phone number they can call to enter their bid. Bids on seasons from cheaper stallions can be made by silent auction.
The progeny of stallions whose seasons are sold at the Georgia sale are eligible for a series of restricted stakes races at Gulfstream, Calder, and Tampa Bay Downs. The dates of those stakes for next year will be announced soon, Russell said, and the series will include a $75,000 stakes race at Gulfstream Park in February or March.
The Florida auction is for Florida stallions only. There will be seasons from about 100 stallions on offer. Those who want to bid by phone must first call the FTBOA headquarters at 352-629-2160.
The Florida stallion auction is held under the banner of Florida Thoroughbred Charities Inc., the philanthropic arm of the FTBOA. There will be an FTBOA-sponsored party at Steinbrenner's Ramada Inn the evening before the stallion auction.
Montbrook, Florida's leading sire for 2002, will have a season for sale at the Florida auction. The Ocala Stud stallion is advertised at $20,000 live foal.
Red Bullet, who enters the stud in 2003 at Frank Stronach's Adena Springs South, has the highest-priced advertised fee in the auction at $30,000 live foal.
The Florida Thoroughbred Charities Stakes will be renewed in 2003 as part of the Ocala Festival of Racing March 17 at the OBS sales and training complex. The $35,000-guaranteed stakes is at five furlongs and is for 3-year-olds and up who are the progeny of stallions whose seasons were donated to the auction on or before 2000.

Am still searching for any info, but recently obtained additional data that might help with my search. If any of it rings true, please respond. Thanks!! ...
Charles Aurelian Abbott from Nova Scotia, born around 1884 and emigrated about 1898. Married Beatrice (unknown) about 1902 in Phila and had three children: Charles, Jr., Anna, and Alice (she later became Sister Nicholas Marie of the order of St. Joseph, and was stationed in Pottstown, PA).
Married Mary Desmond about 1912, also in Phila, and had three more children: Cornelius, Edward, and Margaret.
Charles A. was raised Baptist, but converted to Catholicism, apparently resulting in his being disowned by his family in Nova Scotia. His mother's name was Ida Adams, and siblings were Ira, Harold, David, and Nellie. Apparently, David was a ship's master who took people back and forth to Florida to winter homes.
NOTE: tried to post this previously, but was unable to. If some have duplicate requests, my apologies.

Q. Where do you live? Explain a little about life there?
A. I currently live in Portland, Oregon. Portland is a magical place and really is an amazing city to call home. I always say it's like a big small town. It combines the charm and intimacy of smaller city but still has the culture and diversity that a bigger city would offer. There is always something going on. Everyday is a celebration of something, be it fashion, food, the environment, coffee, or beer Portland takes great pride in its city and I enjoy that. One thing I love about is that you are sure to bump into someone you know no matter where you go in town. You quickly become one of the locals and are recognized in your neigborhood. There is so much to see and do and its so accessible. You can be anywhere in the city within fifteen minutes and if you need to get away you can drive an hour out of town and be on a goreogus mountain top. You don't have that everywhere. We are very fortunate here to have so much around.
Q. Tell us what inspires you to create?
A. Creating is like breathing to me. It's core to my being. It's when I feel most alive. It's how I express myself, how I worship, and how I find sanity. If I find myself in a dry and stressful season often times it's because I haven't been able to create freely or had time to tap into the ideas running through my mind. I would say my greatest source of inspiration comes from nature. The vast amount of colors and textures that are right in front of me are unbelievable.
Q. Explain your approach to Social Media, particularity Instagram.
A. Instagram is great, don't get me wrong. I have met so many incredible people, many who are some of my best friends that never would have happened if it weren't for Instagram. For that reason I love it. It's an amazing tool for talented artists and photographers to showcase their work and gives many an outlet and the exposure that they otherwise wouldn't have had. I think about the words of Andy Warhol when he said "in the future everyone will be – famous for fifteen minutes" Whether or not he was referring to actual fame I definitely think we are in an age where we are seeing that statement come true. Today someone can have an amazing idea or vision and they are able to broadcast on social media and within 24 hours people all over the globe will have an awareness. For that I love Instagram. I think where the problem with social media and Instagram in particular lies is when we start using words like community and connected and we equivilate that to a free app on an iPhone. Those words are not synonymous. While yes they help foster those things we must be careful to not think of them as equals. Its easy to double tap a photo and feel that you are "doing life with someone" But true community is found when its not fun, when it's not glamorous, and when it's not golden hour. Community is found everyday in the ordinary, mundane, hardships of life. So to directly answer the question. . . Instagram is an amazing app that I love. I use it more of a journal. It's a peek into my mind. What I'm feeling. What I'm thinking. It's my heart in photos. I think people indentify with something that is real and transparent so I try to do just that. I think it can be reassuring knowing that someone else is thinking the same things and experiencing similar situations that you are half way around the world. My hope is that through my images and captions that it will resonate with someone and make them feel something. Make them think. Or simply inspire.
Just don't let it consume you. Everything in moderation and at the end of the day just remember that it's a great app, not a way of life.
Q.You seem to do a lot of minimal shots. What brought this about?
A. I think that it has a lot to do with a lifestyle. It goes back to the principle quality over quantity. Not only do I find a minimalist approach to be creatively inspiring but also practical. A space that is clean and uncluttered allows me to see the potential of what could be. It's like a blank canvas that I constantly get to paint with whatever I imagine. My perfect living situation would be a large white room with a giant window, a large white bed on one side, a hanging plant, and a garment rack of 5 grey shirts on the other. It's all I need.
Q. What is one tip you can give to encourage creativity in someone?
A. Creativity is a beautiful thing. I think every human has been blessed with the gift of creativity. Whether you realize it or not. YOU are creative. You have the ability to see the world in a way that no one else can. I think the greatest threat to creativity is comparison. Not to sound cliché but I truly mean when I say be yourself. Often times I hear people say that they aren't creative and I always want to know why. It's usually followed by a remark about how they aren't this or aren't that. Normally referring to something artistic in nature. Don't compare yourself. It's like trying to figure out who was more talented -- Frank Lloyd Wright, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, or Martin Luther King Jr. You can't right. It's because they are all completely different and each had their own skill set unlike the other. Some are brilliant doctors who are using their minds to cure diseases and making breakthrough discoveries, others are mathematicians and businesses men who are able to solve puzzles and predict trends and use their minds in a way that I never could. All that to say, do what you do and do it well. Creativity in its most raw and beautiful form must come from a place that is pure and inhibited
Q. What has been the biggest lesson you have learned this past year?
A. Learning when, who and what to say yes to and that it's okay to say no.
Q. If you could say one thing to the whole world right now and they would all hear, what would that be?
A. Your time here is short. Don't waste time doing things that don't bring you joy. You were designed with a unique purpose and plan that only you can fulfill -- Live that way. Live intentionally. Love well. Serve others. Live and pour into something beyond yourself and your own satisfaction. Don't get so consumed with the small trivial stuff. Look at the grander scheme. Follow your dreams. They were placed in your heart for a reason. Less talking, more doing. And never forget that you matter and you are loved.

It's hard to explain but I can definitely tell that something is up with my belly. It feels bloated and tight and honestly my jeans were snugger today. Also, I don't know if it's possible for the hormones to have already taken over, but I got irritated this morning at something that I normally wouldn't even have registered with me. I could feel myself getting upset and the tears started so I decided I better go workout to try to release some of the tension. I ugly girl cried hard the entire 15 minute ride to the gym but was fine for the rest of the day.

A few weeks ago I was nominated for a Liebster Award by the lovely April. Basically, I will answer 11 questions asked by April and then nominate 11 bloggers to answer my 11 questions. This is a great way to promote some smaller blogs that are probably as good as the bigger ones.
You can read April's blog post here.
1. Tell us about your blog and what inspired you to start it?
I started my first ever blog back in uni with my fried Kirsten. We both love makeup and liked to think we have wicked sense of style, so we wanted to share it with the world. Eventually I went to the UK, so moved back to Belgium and our blog kinda fizzled out. I missed blogging and that's how This is Simply Me was born.
2. If there's a takeaway you want visitors to leave your blog with, what is it?
I don't really think about this. As long as they've enjoyed themselves or learnt something new, I'm happy.
3. Describe yourself in three words.
Fun sized. Is two enough?
4.Would you explore the deep-sea or outer space?
None, underwater scares me and I'm not a fan of hight.
5. If you could go without sleep, what would you do with extra time?
I would probably exercise a bit more and spend even more time watching Bones.
6. What advice would you give to new or even seasoned bloggers?
Have a little fun for freaking sake. Blogging is should be a bit less stressful, less serious.
7. How do you create new content, when it seems like everything has already been done?
Lately I like to write about events happening in Bristol that I've attended. I like to share my opinions and reviews on cruelty free products. I'm not really bothered if it has been done or not, I still do it. I'm a rebel like that.
8. What are you top 3 travel destinations?
My dream is to go to New York, so hopefully I will be able to go there next year. I also want to go to South Korea and Greece.
9. What is your most embarrassing moment?
I'm not entirely sure. I don't get too embarrassed easily. Maybe when I was really drunk telling Ryan how much I loved him and he filmed it. Luckily, I managed to delete the video before he spread it around.
10. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?
I would heal people. Like healing superpower. Flesh or emotions. Healing mental health would be amazing.
11. What do you want to accomplish in life?
Tranquility and happiness. Having my own business would be nice as well.
Here are my 11 nominees for Liebster Award and my questions for them.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
When Mercury, your ruling planet, stations direct on September 5, it does so in the exact same degree as the now-infamous total solar eclipse that happened on August 21. The eclipse created an opening, and now you're about to find out what was really going on. This will, perhaps, take the rest of the month, because you'll need to integrate a discovery that you may find quite unbelievable. The odd bits include how what you figure out was right where you could have seen it all along; and then, how you'll have to consciously make sense of the discovery. What's actually happening is that your mind is opening up in a way that's never happened before. You're becoming more sensitive to an inner source of information, which you can depend upon implicitly. Said another way, you are changing; the structure of your psyche is changing; you are, in truth, a much larger being than you ever imagined. Practicing using these skills, and being this person, will build your confidence in ways you've never imagined possible. The way that a shamanic teacher might phrase things, you're entering into a new relationship to the vast unknown, which you contain. You must stand in a conscious relationship to the mystery of your existence. Let it be what it is, without the need to 'solve' or even resolve anything.
Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23)
When the Sun enters your sign on September 22, it forms a conjunction to Vesta. Potentially the most interesting asteroid, Vesta says you have a job to do, to which you must devote yourself with your whole being. You might think of this as a birthday gift from the universe. That the Sun and Vesta meet up early in your sign, activating what's called the Aries Point, describes the kind of impact that you may have. Yet you may be working behind the scenes for a while, and you'll have to do some of what might seem like thankless work. Don't worry about that part: all your efforts count. Between now and when this astrology starts to phase in around September 18 (when Vesta enters your sign), do whatever mental work, housekeeping, karma-clearing, and meditation that you need. Each day, make a little progress. Your inner life is particularly rich right now. You may be feeling the effects of many past experiences, in the form of processing them, or searching for their true meaning. If you put your exploration into writing, it will be more satisfying, more effective, and give you some documentation to refer to. The form of this writing would be, "this is how I feel about [whoever or whatever] today." Then do that day by day. After a few weeks, you'll have a clue—and you'll be free to move ahead.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22)
Recent events have thrust you into the spotlight, and also made you subject to a degree of public critique. You don't have an especially thick skin, so this is having its challenging moments. One way to handle this is to guide yourself into living with an unusual degree of transparency. With the people who matter, state your motives, your desires, and your needs. Be willing to reveal what you would not ordinarily allow anyone to know, and feel how strong you are when you have no secrets. When Mercury stations direct on the 5th, you may get an extra push in that direction, so make sure all your words and deeds are honorable and fit for public consumption. The current state of our society is that everything comes out sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, there are people looking your way, with the expectation that you understand something they do not. If this isn't true today, it's likely to be pretty soon. You have a proverbial finger on the pulse of public opinion. There's a shift in direction taking place, and your mind is already ahead of the curve. This started in mid-August, but now you're picking up increasingly clear signals about what's developing. The purpose of this is not to predict, and certainly not to be gloomy. Rather, your knowledge gives you and the people you care about a distinct advantage.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22)
You'll need to keep a high level of influence, and at times control, over all of your projects and affairs. You're in that spot where every detail must be aligned with your grand plan. The gel has not fully set, and you still have considerable influence over just how that happens. Focus on the order in which things need to be done, and laying the groundwork for the future through careful preparation. Focus on who your closest colleagues and allies are; now is the time to firm up arrangements. Several turning points to keep in mind are Mercury changing directions on Sept. 5, which will help resolve any tension in work-related partnerships, and get some additional cash flowing; the Sun's ingress into Libra on the 22nd, which will raise your visibility and shift your priorities onto the big picture; and your ruling planet Jupiter's ingress into Scorpio on October 10, which will refresh your creative well and allow you to draw energy from a much deeper place. There are likely to be many people and many seemingly separate projects involved. You are the conductor of this orchestra, because it's your life and your vision being expressed. Just keep reminding yourself over and over again: this has nothing to do with your parents, except perhaps what you learned from them. You are the next generation. You are the future.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)
Are you wrestling with your conscience? Do you need to think about what is good, what is true, and what is righteous? This is preferable to doing the wrong thing, but I wonder what the questions or even struggle is about. You don't need so much theory behind your approach to life, to love, or to work. You don't need to plan as much as you do, especially if planning helps you feel less insecure. Nearly a decade of Pluto in your sign has taught you that everything forever changes. Yet you are the focus of change at the moment; though it's a particularly challenging form of change since what seems to be most influenced is the structure of your psyche. What's actually happening is that a personality husk is falling away, and you're exposing something more elemental and much closer to your core. This is about direct experience, not any form of theory. In a short time you're going to start making decisions, which is a basic level of leadership, and you'll need to choose on the basis of what is objectively right more than what seems right for you personally. What is right is right, and what is true is true, and it's time that you embrace a wider concept of yourself, something that's all-encompassing and committed to your true mission, rather than your questions about it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
There seem to be more alterations to your financial affairs than in a tailor shop during prom season. Yet you're stitching together a coherent plan, and something with potential. What you need, though, is a more compassionate embracing view of your partnerships. You could do more with certain people, if you recognized how productive the relationships really are. You seem to have a firewall set up between your shared mission with certain people, and your ability to bring that mission to fruition. It's almost as if you're reluctant to consummate the marriage on the first night of the honeymoon. Sometimes hesitation is appropriate, though you would feel more confident if you really understood that your interests are not even vaguely separate from the people around you. You share purpose, you share resources, you share necessities. It's only a flimsy Chinese wall that keeps you thinking there is some division or divergence. You'll start to see the light when Vesta and the Sun move into your fellow air sign Libra in a few weeks. At that point, you'll have a view from a higher altitude, though once you see the lay of the land, come back to Earth. Your services and indeed your inspiration are needed here, in a world that's struggling for any reason to believe that good things are possible, and where people are struggling to have faith in themselves.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
There are suddenly many people in your life: various shades of partners, prospects, potentials, friends, lovers and a few who are deeply devoted to you. Give them credit for showing up every time they do. Make a special effort to see them as whole beings, with whole lives, which happen to interface with yours in a few key places. You possess something that most of them do not, which you might think of as a broad perspective on time, and a rather wide definition of purpose. You see the connections that other people so often miss. You see relevance and patterns where most others see only data, or trivia. Saturn has shifted to direct motion in your house of leadership and responsibility. This is focusing your drive to take responsibility for the whole world you live in. Vesta and the Sun are headed for Libra, which is about you being a master of resources. Even if you have an abundance, use it wisely, save for a rainy day, and plan your future investments carefully. With so many variables in play, you will need to be vigilant about staying in focus and on mission. If you're willing to do that, apply yourself modestly, and have respect for the value of time, you are headed for an unusual period of achievement. Just remember, you didn't do it alone.
Aries (March 20-April 19)
The question of your relationships is about devotion. That does not imply monogamy or sex, or living together, or getting married, or being jealous, or even being together. What is strongly implied is making sure that you hold open the space for the right thing to happen. That might mean accepting the relationship in a new form; it certainly means consciously embracing the changes and the growth process of the people you care the most about. Yet the astrology I'm describing is not merely personal or private. It's about your relationship to "the world," which means to your environment and all the people in it. Right now this is likely to have some unusual properties, which defy the usual course of your romantic relationships. Take these opportunities eagerly; you will learn many deep and beautiful lessons as your habitual relational tendencies are altered by new experiences. There's a dual question: what is the meaning of sex, and what is the meaning of non-sex? Take these slowly. Notice the erotic qualities of every exchange, especially those relationships which specifically exclude what we think of as sex. This will teach you more about the meaning and nature of your erotic life than nearly anything else. Hold space for this learning process. Hold space for the people in your life to grow, change, and evolve. Hold space for reality to enter.
Taurus (April 19-May 20)
Your creative fires are burning hot and clean. And your solar chart is revealing a devotion to your work that's unusual even for you. This is the beginning of a long-awaited new phase of your professional life, one where the work itself is all that matters. However, you still have that one little skill you need to practice, which is the one about getting out of your own way; the one about not overthinking things; the one about trusting your process. They're part of the same thing. It's possible that the sheer strength of your talent, passion and devotion will get you past that little knee-high fence that your life story includes constantly hopping over. Yet when there's so much energy moving, you're running like a race horse: with precision, and where stumbling can be catastrophic. So keep an eye on that little fence. Make a habit of removing stumbling blocks before you get to them, rather than after. Establish the central purposes of your life, and then organize your life around fulfilling them. Your relationships will need to follow suit. You may find yourself investing your abundant sexual energy into other purposes, which is OK to a point, though with so much happening, and so much needing to be done, you simply must make room for human contact, for long nights together, and for good food.
Gemini (May 20-June 21)
Recent astrology, from the total eclipse to Mercury retrograde that's about to end, have all challenged your sense of grounding and security. You've established a new relationship with your living space, with certain relatives, and with the experience of being alive on Earth today. If you can do one thing—be less judgmental, and more observant—you will release a torrent of energy. And in the process of doing what amounts to breaking an inner dam, you will feel safer. That must translate to much more than feeling secure inside your four walls. You have to take this into your outer environment. Many people are feeling really, really shaken up right now. They don't necessarily have your power of eternal optimism, or your ability to see things from six viewpoints at once. You are, in a sense, a teacher of safety and of security merely in your gesture of feeling safe. Yet you need to go past that, and translate safety into belonging. This in turn translates to feeling confident enough to speak your mind and do your part, even in the face of what seem to be many reasons not to. When the Sun moves into Libra on the 22nd (the equinox) is when you will truly be summoned to courage and to action. Spend the weeks leading up to that in earnest preparation. Get your house in order.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Your astrological sign (or rising sign) is one ideally suited for the art and craft of writing. Though I've never seen this in a book, it's obvious from study of your solar chart, which emphasizes the sign Virgo right where it's needed most, the 3rd house of communications. Virgo has been bristling for many weeks, and it's especially strong now, with Mercury retrograde wrapping up, with the Sun present, and with Venus and Mars approaching. In recent history, computer programmers emerged as the most powerful people. In the world that's rising, people who can write coherently, with accuracy, and with a touch of elegance will possess a skill that's on the level of alchemy. It doesn't matter if you don't consider yourself a professional writer; devote yourself to learning how to express yourself in written language, and to do so well. This can only come with daily practice. This would include writing letters, emails and stories where you reread, revise and proofread three to five times. What we call writing is 90% thinking; and most of the time, that happens in the revision process. This is something entirely different from our dominant world of tweets and social posts, which are like popcorn compared to the nourishing, potent effects of crafted sentences, paragraphs and essays. The harder this is for you, the more you need to do it.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 23)
The world (and your world) is still reverberating with the effects of the total solar eclipse that happened in your sign on August 21. Whatever may be going on for the people in your life, you've arrived at a threshold of your journey on Earth. You may now see that the signs of this go back about two years; many events happened in preparation for what you're experiencing now, and what you're about to experience. Hang loose, stretch your body, and feed yourself well. Keep dedicated people around you. You're entering a period of achievement, which will require that you have a high level of accountability—and that you bank on all of your skills. As events progress in the outer world, you will be focusing inwardly on an incredible process of becoming. This is the full development of what used to be called personhood. Most people don't have this quality inherently upon being born. It's learned, earned, claimed and re-claimed many times in the course of a lifetime. Some acquire it through loss, pain, and sorrow. Some learn it consciously, by taking on the challenges of growth, by consciously embracing change, and by persistently seeking understanding of themselves. There's nothing convenient about this, though in the end, you will only gain. In the coming seasons, vast new horizons of experience will open up. Welcome them joyfully.

Cuphead in Don't Deal With the Devil
Cuphead is wacky, fun and deliciously cruel! A classic run and gun action-packed game, Cuphead was developed by Studio MDHR, enclosing all the best Walt Disney toons, from Steamboat Willie to The Wise Little Hen. Recreating the nostalgia of the 1930s, it is essential to add that both the audio and visuals were rendered in such a way so as to maintain the venerable era's watercolor backgrounds and and jazzy soundtrack.
The 2D shooter will introduce players to Cuphead and Mugman, who can be played both in single player or co-op mode. After losing a bet with the Devil, the two brothers must repay their debts, fundamentally aiming to outrun and defeat menacing adversaries by learning various defensive abilities and ultimately mastering unusual weapons in even more unusual situations.
Cuphead in Don't Deal With the Devil will be available for Xbox One and Windows PC later on this year.

Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue Primer/
As someone who suffers with more than just a little shine and skin problems in general, I have tried countless primers in my makeup wearing career. The result of all these tests & trials - I hate primers. The vast majority of them have thick, silicone-laden and slippery textures that do not agree with my skin at all. Amidst all that I was able to find a couple of primers that I love - they are weightless and make my foundation look and last longer. One of those is the new Benefit POREfessional Matte Rescue.
Just in case you are wondering the other is the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm (not technically a primer but I'll write more about it another time).
Back to the Matte Rescue. The product is basically a very lightweight, water-based gel that takes care of shine and helps absorb excess surface oil, leaving a natural-looking finish. What I love about the product is that it doesn't feel like a mask on the skin, it sinks in very quickly and leaves the skin fresh and even. I swear, if you touch your skin you can't even feel it's there!
It gives a blurring effect and makes pores visibly less apparent (but wouldn't be as dramatic as the original POREfessional - which I really like). The Matte Rescue has added a good few hours to the lifetime of my foundation, something I have always struggled with. I get a good 7-8 hours of decent looking foundation which seems like a miracle (pre this discovery it was more like 2-3 hours)!
I used to be a very occasional primer wearer as I found most primers clogged up my skin and felt really gross after a little while. Buy ever since I got the Matte Rescue I've been wearing it every day under my foundation and I absolutely love it! It hasn't broken me out or affected the condition of my skin in any way.
If you are not a fan of traditional primers and need a little help in the shine department I highly recommend you try it at one of the Benefit counters.
The POREfessional Matte Rescue is €31 and available from all Benefit counters
What is your holy grail foundation primer?

Building on its success with over 2.8 million m² sold since its launch in 2013, the Polyrey washroom cubicle range is introducing its PREMIER version to shake up an all too dull market.
Based on the success of the Polyrey PREMIER label, as well as on analyses of the highly competitive existing offering, Washroom PREMIER was developed in order to cleverly complete the classic washroom range and bring flexibility and innovation to the existing HPL range. This new offering will help Polyrey to answer to the needs of a more elite customer base working on top-of-the range projects.
Three atmospheres makeup the range:
Intrinsic, based on natural tones and effects such as wood or marble, which give a certain warmth to the range
Infinite evokes more high tech and futuristic atmospheres thanks to pearlescent decors and material effects such as carbon.
Interlace, lastly, is composed with more geometric and linear designs, drawing inspiration from both English fabrics and oriental decoration.
This new, 100% HPL offering that is ideal for cubicle doors or back panels, is composed of 14 decors on classic printed paper and 4 digital decors (integrated in the Polyrey Signature process) customised for Polyrey, all anti-bacterial as standard. The 3 finishes of the range (Gloss, extramatt and ant finger print TOUCH) bring innovation to the cubicle market and are already much-anticipated. The two Washroom 2017 and Washroom PREMIER collections were designed to be both complementary and independent of each other in order to increase reputation and market share. Despite being two distinct tools, careful attention was brought to the synergies and combinations so that the new range would not cannibalise the existing one. In addition to Polyrey's usual services, particular emphasis will be placed on the availability on site of BIM objects in the range representing a true market advantage over the competition.

I recently wrote Congressman Rice sharing my support for immigration reform, particularly the well-reasoned legislation passed by the Senate. I urged him to support the legislation detailing its emphasis on border security, path to citizenship and employment verification. I asked his specific thoughts on that legislation.
His response left me wondering. "This is an important issue and I have heard from many constituents who feel the same way you do. I appreciate your taking the time to share your views with me....." He never responded to my direct question about the Senate bill.
As a former senior aide for a Congressman, I understand that often folks in Rice's position are reluctant to show their hand on controversial issues. And I know that he does not read all the mail he gets. The response was a form letter carefully drafted by a young staffer, signed off on by a legislative director and probably by the Congressman.
It is troubling that there was not a sense that the Congressman is truly wrestling with the issue.
Is that because he is getting in lock step with folks who are just going to say no to everything? Is it because some of his supporters want the reform outlined by the Senate and he is reluctant to go against them? Is it because he knows that immigration is the right thing as well as a scary thing to get behind?
This is an opportunity for Congressman Rice to show some leadership and get out in front. Can he do that? Time will tell.

Nepal bus accident death toll rises to 18
KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — The death toll from an accident where a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims veered off a mountain road and fell into a river in western Nepal has climbed to at least 18 people with another 17 injured, police said Tuesday.
Police official Jay Bahadur Kathayat said the bus rolled about 100 meters (320 feet) before it plunged into the river on Monday near Lamachaur village, 400 kilometers (250 miles) east of the capital, Katmandu.
The official said some of the injured passengers who were taken to the hospital died overnight, raising the death toll to 18.
The dead bodies were still being identified, but police believe many of them were Indian nationals on a Hindu pilgrimage trip to a nearby famous Hindu pilgrimage site Swargadwari, which means gateway to heaven.
Police were investing the cause of the crash but said the bus appeared to be overcrowded on a mountain road and there were also eyewitness accounts that the driver might have been using a cell phone while driving and lost control of the vehicle.
The villagers helped rescuers pull the dead and injured from the wreckage. The injured were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Accidents in Nepal are often blamed on poorly maintained vehicles and roads.

Update From the 2015 Title X HIV Integration Project Technical Support Meeting
On April 30 and May 1, CAI, as the Family Planning National Training Center for Coordination and Strategic Initiatives (NTC-CSI), hosted the Title X HIV Integration Project 2015 Technical Support Meeting in Alexandria, VA. The Meeting brought together HIV Integration Project grantee organizations--including the New York State Department of Health--as well as representatives from five Title X National Training Centers and OPA, to examine the role of Title X grantees in addressing the ongoing HIV epidemic.
OPA's HIV Integration Project was launched in 2001 with the objective of incorporating HIV testing, counseling, and linkages to care into family planning settings, including opt-out HIV testing, linkage to care, behavioral interventions, condom distribution, and sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening and treatment. The Project seeks to bridge the historical divide between Title X and HIV service delivery settings--a gap that has resulted in missed opportunities for detecting HIV infection among high-risk women, men, and adolescents that enter Title X settings seeking care, specifically racial/ethnic minorities and low-income individuals. OPA makes this funding stream (from the Secretary's Minority AIDS Initiative Fund) available to support 18 agencies in 16 States due to the fact that family planning agencies that do not successfully integrate HIV services generally fail to do so because of financial constraints.
We sat down with Tegan Culler, Deputy Director for the NTC-CSI at CAI, to discuss the event and the distinction between New York State grantees and other Meeting attendees. The overall goal of the Technical Support Meeting was to build attendees' capacity to sustain critical project activities despite shifts in the health care financing landscape, as well as to deliver tools and resources that will support grantees in their work to scale-up sub-recipient agencies' current integration efforts. As it was a working meeting, each grantee team worked to develop an action plan for improving integration of these services into care delivery within their sub-recipient networks.
Two New York State grantees were present at the Meeting: the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) and Public Health Solutions, which together fund seven sub-recipient agencies. Culler described how these sub-recipient agencies are in a different position than their counterparts in other States due to New York State's unique policy around HIV testing. In the rest of the country, it is a best practice recommendation that hospitals and primary care settings offer HIV testing to all persons between 13 and 64 years. In New York, however, State law requires that hospitals and primary care settings offer testing, even in the lower prevalence areas. This requirement is underpinned by a supportive policy infrastructure. In fact, just this year, Governor Andrew Cuomo launched an initiative to end the AIDS epidemic in New York State by 2020 by prioritizing the identification of undiagnosed persons, prevention of new transmissions, and enhancement of linkages to and retention of HIV-positive patients in care.
As a follow-up to the Meeting, the NTC-CSI will be developing a series of learning opportunities to assist grantees and their sub-recipient agencies to work together in developing and carrying-out action plan items, as well as to facilitate learning from one another. Through these continued efforts, New York State's Title X HIV Prevention Project network can remain a critical player in detecting HIV infection among the most vulnerable populations.

Remember back in the early days of video games where play time was dictated by skill and patience? Remember the days of the 8-bit and 16-bit era's where spending a minimum of 14 hours was the norm to finish a game on easy? I remember those days. I have also been seeing a trend since the 32-bit days of the Playstation and N64 where play times started slipping to shorter time frames for easy levels. I recall beating Metal Gear Solid in 10 hours! It seems that the norm to beat most games that have been released within the last 8 to 10 years is generally 8 to 14 hours. In some cases, I have seen play time reduced to a mere 6 hours! Is this a case of "Be careful of what you wish for?", or "It's just a phase."
I remember reading in various articles back as I grew up where journalists and gamers were both complaining of the 40+ hour playtime promised in many popular RPG's and other games. I recall how many of them, being older games, just didn't have the time to invest in such long play times. They wanted to buy their games, play them, beat them, and enjoy the story without investing a weeks worth of playing to do so. I recall how many games I have played, and yet to finish, due to time constraints. I can feel how they feel. However, there is a brutal flipside to this argument.
Games have gone up in price with the release of the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360 from $50 per premium title to $60 per title. The reason for a price jump is due to the level of production costs involved in making these games. The PlayStation 3 and the XBox 360 are both powerful devices capable of delivering real time 3D rendered graphics on par with some television computer rendered effects. The developers want to make quicker returns on their major investments. However, turn around time from developments initial phases to release time has generally remained the same since the Playstation 1 days of 1 to 3 years. The major difference is we are seeing games shorten in length to feeling more like that of a big budget mini-series event.
Now we have games that can easily be played through to the end within a 10 hour play time. However, we are still paying premium prices for such games. How do publishes balance this? For the hardcore gamer, the answer is downloadable content. For the casual gamer, this means GameStop. Depending on the console you are using, publishers released DLC (downloadable content) for free as add-ons to the games they released so it keeps gamers involved, and playing. For casual gamers not looking to download add-ons, or in the case of XBox 360 having to purchase that content, aren't interested in extra material that oft times is not relevant to the main game.
To combat this issue of shorter games, publishers are pushing DLC packages to consoles about 3 to 6 months after release. On the PlayStation 3 some DLC is completely free, where as some DLC can cost about $6 to $10 USD. On the XBox 360 you need to have XBox Live Points that costs you around $25 per 1600 points. Nintendo jumped on this bandwagon with the Wii and DSi/DSi XL to some extent.
So, what is the new argument being shared between journalists and gamers this time around? Games are entirely to short! Come on folks, can we PLEASE make up our minds here? If you want a game that has "endless" amounts of game play involved, I highly recommend finding an MMO that fits your needs. There are literally hundreds out now, all ranging in free-to-play to pay-to-play formats. I have seen MMO's in the form of First Person Shooters to Fantasy RPG to Sci-Fi to Strategy formats. If you want to play a game for pure entertainment value that is not going to require a lengthy investment of time to complete, I recommend just making due with what is now available, learn how to take advantage of DLC packages, and enjoy the console games that are currently available. Or, just bust out the old consoles from yesteryear in your closets and play those older titles that took days to complete.
